4 Feet Outdoor Wooden Raised Garden Bed Planter Box Kit for Vegetable and Fruit Herb Growing, Patio or Balcony Gardening, Natural

* I would have given it 5 stars, but the price jumped significantly from the first one I bought and the second one. Still, this was the cheapest one I could find.This bed is made out of cedar, so it's going to last a while outside, unlike other raised beds I have bought. You could also paint or stain it for additional protection, if you choose.The planks slide into place. There's nothing to keep them in place, so it will not hold up to moving. Also, the end caps sit atop a dowel. The kit included basic school glue, which will not hold up to the elements, so I didn't bother. I suppose you could screw them on or use Gorilla glue if you really wanted to.There's plenty of room in here. It took me 13 bags of soil to fill, in addition to my plants. I planted 2 rows of peas and 2 rows of radishes in one side and 12 strawberry plants in the other. As I planted early, I have had to cover the bed up on some nights. I used a clear shower curtain, cut lengthwise and it covers the full 8 feet.This bed is highly recommended! I wish the price would go back to what I originally paid when I first bought one ($69) because I would definitely be like at least 2 more!

I put these together myself, using a rubber mallet. Had my husband add 2 extra braces and 2 X 4 tops, then I Stained them. They turned out perfect and exactly what I envisioned.

3 of the C parts split. I had to use small nails to repair.

I hate to leave negative reviews, but this is just burned me.I had bought 3 different garden boxes to see which one would work best. A list with pictures of why I am writing this review. 1. I was trying to fit the board into the pieces it said on the instructions. 2. They don't fit, so I cleaned out the depree from the cut. I fit one side the 3 panals to one side, then tried to slide the 3 pieces down the other side. 3. IT BROKE!!! THIS JUST SUCKS!! The others I bought are amazingly easy and sturdy. I hate sending items back because of my situation, so I will try to fix this with scrapes of wood and make it more sturdy and use nails, not the glue they send you!I feel better getting that off my chest.

It has a great decor for the yard, easy to assemble..

We did not pay a lot for these, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the quality. The wood was cheap with lots of imperfections - grain holes, cracked edges. The dovetailed ends were supposed to slide into the groove slots, but they were so hard to get in and one end completely cracked apart. We had to glue and screw it back together before we could complete the assembly. They are together and look find in the garden plot, but we'll see how long they actually last.

I purchased one of these to see what the quality was going to be like, and if it was good, I am starting a backyard rose garden. I am going to put these up against my fence and stack them side-by-side. My husband isn’t the handiest person at building things/woodwork plus he also works way too many hours and long hitches, I did not want to ask him to build me 8 plus garden beds. This is a win win for me and for him! Haha. Be careful and gentle when assembling, I can see how the item could have cracked like I’ve seen in some of the reviews. The wood pieces do not slide into the premade slots super easy, it’s very snug, but if you use a hammer or a rubber mallet to gently help push it down, it will work. I am very happy with this and I plan to apply flaxseed oil to seal and protect it. I will definitely be purchasing more!

They were a snap to put together. I have had themfor 3 weeks and love them so far.
